Great Video Find

I was looking at Awesome Tapes From Africa and through a series of clicks, came across this video:

Better Homes and Hellscapes

I found this painting hanging on the wall of an example room in a 1968 Better Homes and Gardens Decorating Book. I think it's pretty scary.

Trucking.

We all dream. Some people are happy with just the dream. Others follow through and place an ad in the Thrifty Nickel.



Bon Voyage!

Holiday Gift Guide Edition

If there's one thing I love, it's preserved animals in globes.



You can tell this one is a real vampire because it's impossible to take a photograph of it. I can't really think of any member of the family who wouldn't love a real dead vampire bat eight inch tall paperweight for Christmas, provided your family members are all vampire hunters and/or vintage educational display enthusiasts.

Happy Holidays!

Alive!

Skip,

So last night we heard this song on the radio,



and when I looked for it today, I found this, which blew my mind.



Starts like Gary Numan, and then is so much more raw than the version you hear on the radio. I think it's the farty bass.

Though you know I am allergic to crustaceans, my favorite was this one:

The Intersection of Art and Sports

Some kids love to play baseball and other kids love to draw animals playing baseball:

(I think this one technically counts, since Rogue is a mutant, not a human being)

Re: There are 10 Commandments.

Grant,

When I got home the note was still there and so were the police. No cat though. Here is an artistic interpretation of the scene:

More details as they emerge.

There are 10 Commandments.

Skip,

I just gave this to the neighbor.





I hope it works.

Re: Fair Warning.

Fair Warning

Dear Grant,

By now you have no doubt noticed that I left two dozen delicious mini-muffins on the kitchen table. These muffins are full of cheddar bits and are extremely delicious - except for the ones that are full of dog kibble. Those muffins are for dogs. You are welcome to help yourself to as many cheesy mini-muffins as you like.  You can tell which muffins are for the dogs by the way that they also have delicious cheese pouring out of their crowns, but inside they are full of kibble. Please do not eat the kibble muffins. 

Thank you.
